Ecological infrastructure: landscape features that support ecosystem services. Their functions: Buffering the system against disturbances, e.g. riparian and wetland vegetation; soils; floodplains; coastal dunes. Nature’s infrastructure has a positive impact on human resilience by : Protecting human lives Protecting engineered infrastructure Enabling multiple land uses When EI is degraded, land use options reduced, resulting lock-ins into single land use options Navigating a new, sustainable future for the catchment Developing a shared vision with stakeholders Supported by good science Developing and implementing a local management plan Collaborative governance through a Catchment Forum Adaptive co-management: learning, experimentation, reflection, adaptation “Getting our act together for sustainable catchment management for resilient ecological infrastructure”
